Although he was the son of Lehi in the Book of Mormon, he was one of the bad sons… Hence why other names, like Alma (also a male prophet in the Book of Mormon) have survived in the Mormon subculture, whereas Lemuel has never really lived… and probably never will…

I know modern men named Lynn and Clair, and Kim and Jan for that matter.

I know somebody who just named her baby boy Chaz.

I have an ancestor named Claiborne, who went by Clabe. He’d have been born in the mid 1800s, though… But my great-great-grandfather (Clabe’s son!) was named Bub. Seriously. He’d have been born in the 1870s most likely.

Coleman is in our top two boy names (family name for us.)
